Chapter 66: Childhood Memories
Citron put away the books on the bed and said, "The thoughts of the lord and the lady are that you will inherit the academy in the future, and the slave maid said that you should not be unhappy, and the lord is also looking forward to the inheritance of the uncle in the future." ”
Fu Yi smiled: "How can there be such a beautiful thing, can make my father look at someone who is enough to inherit the academy, such a poetry and calligraphy talent, how can he be willing to be a teacher in Kizhou?" ”
Citron said, "Yes, that's why our old lady's abacus is fine." ”
Fuyi's face sank, she and Citron both knew that her grandmother calculated that if her eldest grandson did not have access to officialdom, he would not be able to make a big profit if he guarded a few acres of family property, so he mentioned early on that if Fuyi's cousin could not be an official, let him inherit the academy, and say that in the future, there would be someone to serve the father and mother of Fuyi with filial piety.
Citron came up with an idea and said, "Since the old lady here said that you are a child of your mother's family and a relative, you said that in the future, can you ask the old lady to come forward and preside over the affairs of our academy." ”
Fu Yi bowed his head: "If I am really desperate in the future, I will definitely use the favors I have saved here this year, and I can't let the old monster and the uncle's family spoil my father's hard work." ”
Citron left the bed, waited for Fu Yi to lie down, lowered the curtain, and finally blew out the candle, and said timidly: "Miss, the third son of Fang Cai, didn't tell me anything. ”
Fu Yi smiled calmly through the gauze curtain: "What do I say to you, it's weird, go to sleep." ”
The next morning, the spring rain was falling, and the girls came to the study in a soft sedan chair, so they took an umbrella and walked in the rain, full of wetness, and couldn't help but think of the eldest lady who was soaked in the garden that day, and it had been a few days, and there was no longer half a gossip in the house.
There are times when the eldest lady can't hold her breath, but more often, she governs the family well and has sharp wrists, and she knows that she must not be offended easily.
Reading the "Lanting Collection Preface" today, the girls listened to Fuyi and said that the talented and famous people were writing poems and drinking in the Lanting, so unhappy, and they were looking forward to it.
The third girl said: "Partial men should be ambitious in all directions, and they can go anywhere, and we can't even go out of the house." Sister Yan, you have traveled thousands of miles from Kishu and have seen mountains and rivers, and my sisters and I have only been to Zhuangtou on the outskirts of Beijing at the farthest. ”
Yunzhi on the side, openly ate Huaihua jujube mud cake in class, and said lazily: "You are timid, like me, you are entangled with the third brother, where can you go?" ”
The third sister said: "My sister is solid, and it doesn't hurt to beat, so we don't want to be beaten and kneel in the ancestral hall." ”
Yun Zhi glanced at them, turned around and saw Fuyi glaring at her, so he put away the box, clapped his hands and said, "I'll give you a picture of Wang Xizhi." ”
After saying that, he ordered Feitong to step forward to lay paper and grind ink, Yunzhi rolled up his sleeves, and the lake pen was held in his hand, and his slender wrist was stable and solid, and the clouds and water were done in one go.
Fuyi stepped forward to see, very surprised, this post has four or five points of likeness, more expensive is not that dull imitation, into the rhyme of its own naughty chic.
Yunzhi handed the pen to Fuyi: "You write one and I'll take a look." ”
Fu Yi shook his head: "You're wonderful." ”
But she couldn't help her sisters coax, so she sat down slowly, and when the thick ink fell off the paper, it was the wind under the pen, and before she finished writing half of the article, Yunzhi was already shouting: "Stop, stop, you are really, don't give me face at all......"
The third sister and the others gathered around the table and sighed: "Sister Yan, you don't write like this on weekdays, how can you copy it, it's hard to distinguish the real from the fake?" ”
Fuyi put away the pen and said with a smile; "My father taught me to write, just to be neat, not to be limited to which one of them I follow, but the post is a homework since childhood, and I just draw a gourd in the same way."
The fifth sister had a sweet mouth, holding the word Yunzhi and said: "Second sister, reward me with this one, when can I write as well as my sister, my mother will laugh in her dreams." ”
Yun Zhi was happy now, and pushed his elbow against him: "What's the matter, I'm not bad." ”
Fuyi praised sincerely: "Isn't it bad, let my father see it, he must be shocked." ”
Seeing that they were all so powerful, the little sisters were willing to calm down and learn calligraphy, and the study finally calmed down.
Yunzhi told Fuyi that outsiders thought she was spoiled by the old lady, but in fact, her grandmother taught her to read and write very strictly since she was a child, and she was lazy when she followed her third brother to study. When I was young, I couldn't even hold chopsticks when I was beaten so badly by my grandmother's palm board.
"When I was a child, my grandmother was so strict, I always wanted to go back to my parents." Yunzhi said, "Now it's all the opposite, my father and mother don't care about me, they use me as a bargaining chip gift to give away, only grandma, I would rather be criticized and spoiled by others, and I am willing to fight." ”
Fuyi remembered Zhu Rong's words, he said that he would never let his sister enter the palace to be small, originally Fuyi had this wish, but there was nowhere to make the strength, and now she knows that behind Yunzhi is the brother who loves her the most, she is at ease.
But she also agreed to Zhu Rong, and she didn't mention it to Yunzhi easily, so she only appeased Yunzhi a few words, asking her to open more.
At this time, Dongyuan Zhou's mother came, she was always charitable and friendly, coaxing the girls to be happy, holding the play book and saying: "At the end of the month, the second master's birthday, the old lady watched the play, and the lady said, asked the ladies to pick one, and she was good to arrange." ”
Fuyi ordered Citron to show Zhou's mother tea, a few little girls surrounded her, asking what kind of drama was in the repertoire, Yunzhi pulled Fuyi to the side, and said softly: "Dongyuan was lively that day, and it was deserted elsewhere, let's take the opportunity to find out where the big sister is, how about it?" ”
"We'll talk about it later." Fu Yi was afraid that people would listen to him, and he didn't dare to implicate the three girls, so he picked a drama with everyone first and politely sent Zhou's mother away.
At lunchtime, Yun Zhizhi ordered people to set up a small table under the window, and Fuyi to enjoy the rain and eat, all kinds of exquisite dishes are saved with white jade plates, seventeen or eighteen plates are spread all over the table, and Scarlet Tong then served the hot jade abalone and ginseng porridge, and they all retreated with the citron.
Fu Yi said: "Second master's birthday, you are your daughter, why don't you treat guests in front of people, and run with me to find the eldest lady?" ”
Yun Zhi stirred and stirred the porridge, it was very hot, and said nonchalantly: "There must be young ladies and young ladies of the same age as us who will come together that day, and the flowers in the garden are just right, so I have to go shopping." When they walked around, they were gone, and they didn't dare to trespass, so they took them to one place, and we sneaked away, who knows. ”
She still closes her eyes and remembers the miserable condition of the eldest lady who is soaked and thin.
"Ahh Yunzhi suddenly slapped the silver spoon on the table.
"Hot?" Fu Yi asked worriedly.
"The Min family will definitely come." Yun Zhi's disgust overflowed from his eyes, and he said hatefully, "My sister-in-law's sisters are not good things. ”
Fu Yi still remembers that at the Lantern Festival banquet in the palace at that time, the most beautiful people were the daughters of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
She asked, "But you deliberately pretended to be stupid and let them go, so why care." ”
Fu Yi was very unconvinced: "It's okay to be someone else, just a few of them, no, just that Min Chulin, it's not a good thing." ”
"I don't recognize her, but if you say she's not good, I naturally believe you." "But no matter what, they were guests that day, too flamboyant and rude, weren't they?" ”
Yunzhi said disgustedly: "When my sister-in-law was at home, she was often bullied, relying on the fact that she was born to the eldest lady, and she was very perverse and vicious. Outside, everyone is beautiful and gentle, and everyone says yes when they see it. Among the portals that come and go with our family, she is the most annoying, anyway, I can't get used to it, she better not provoke me. ”
Fu Yi said all the words of coaxing Yunzhi, and she didn't care about the daughter of the Prime Minister who didn't know her, she was more worried about whether the plan to visit the eldest lady was thorough, if the eldest lady accidentally ran out at the birthday banquet of the second master, then as the old lady said, the worst thing about Yunzhi was to be beaten, and she should have been sent away.
"Let's talk about it again?" Fu Yi cautiously said, "It's indeed a good opportunity, so it's good to try." ”
"That's, I can't do nonsense." Yun Zhi finally drank the porridge, remembered something again, and asked, "You went to the palace when you were a child, did you see the mother and the county lord?" ”
Fu Yi said: "When I was very young, my own memory is vague, and the mother and the county lord must not recognize me, but I only remember that the princess is graceful and noble, and the words are friendly, and the little county lord was naughty at that time." ”
Yunzhi said: "Seven years ago, the county lord didn't come to my house to greet her relatives, although she had been to the capital before, I didn't have a chance to meet, this is the first time we met." ”
Fu Yi smiled: "The third sister said it was a peony flower? ”
Yunzhi also smiled, but shook his head and said, "How do you say it...... It's as if she is standing on the clouds and talking to me, not necessarily arrogant and arrogant, but when I look at her, the pride of the noble lady of the family is gone, she is too dazzling. ”
Fuyi recalls her childhood, it was summer, and the five or six-year-old little county lord took her to catch carp in the pond of the palace.
Let's say that the spring rain in the capital is rare and abundant, the people take shelter from the rain under the eaves, rarely go out, and it is the time of lunch and dinner, and there are almost no people on the street.
But seeing an eight-treasure Yunding incense car passing by in the rain, at the corner of the alley, Mu Kaijiang was wearing a cloak and a hat, and slowly walked into the rain.
Two of his subordinates followed him, stepped forward and said, "My lord, should we follow?" ”
Kaijiang Jian eyebrows flew up, and his expression was solemn: "Go, don't alarm her." ”
His subordinates complained: "What's the matter with the county lord, running outside all day long, running all over the streets and alleys, is she looking for someone?" ”
Kaijiang was silent, ordered them to follow quickly, and when he walked back alone, he thought in his heart, that little girl should not be measuring how big the capital is, she was crazy, and she was running around day and night.
He returned to the forbidden army mansion, took off his rain gear, and met Zhu Rong coming out of the palace, the two of them took turns to change the guard today, Zhu Rong saw that he was full of fatigue, and after all, he was soft-hearted: "I'll help you keep an eye on it for two days, and you take a break." ”
Kaijiang was so angry that he stomped his feet: "That little girl, isn't she tired?" ”
